Extracts From Haslingden & Lancashire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Haslingden, inspired by Frith photos.
Lancashire - A Second Selection Photographic Memories
Now a busy road through the town, in the days before mass car ownership Deardengate was almost empty except for pedestrians. Stone setts pave the street and unobtrusive traffic lights control its junction with Manchester and Blackburn Roads. Overlooking the crossing is the Midland Bank building, recognisable from its large clock that sits above the imposing entrance.
This is an extract from Lancashire - A Second Selection Photographic Memories.

Accrington Old and New Photographic Memories
This is the edge of the rock gardens, and we can see one of the terra-cotta vases (centre left). There were over two miles of footpaths in the park. The sign on the grass in the foreground reads 'No dogs allowed'.
